How do I make bookmarks automatically open in a new tab instead of in the current tab?

Currently all my bookmarks, especially those in the Bookmarks Toolbar always open in the current tab I'm looking at, thereby changing my current tab to a new one. I want to keep my current tab and simply click on a bookmark in the toolbar and have it open in a new tab, just like it does as a default setting in my other browser Maxthon. This crappy browser instead forces me to first click on a new tab and THEN choose my bookmark. I don't like clicking twice for a bookmark, I want to do it in ONE click, not two. So, once again, how do I make bookmarks automatically open in a new tab instead of in the current tab?

Hi, this add-on works for me: Open Bookmarks in New Tab.

There are other add-ons that open links/bookmarks in a new tab, such as -

Open Link in New Tab.

DblClicker.

Right Links.

... It has many deficiencies as does EVERY browser's bookmarks system. The answer is to use a separate, stand alone bookmark program that interfaces with all the browsers we all use. ...

When you find a program such as that, please let us know.
